No business does anymore. I maintain that's why all the cars are the same 4-6 colors these days. Black, white, grey, and silver aren't offensive to the corporations that buy fleets. Blue and red have to be there so they can do "patriotic" displays.

Oh, and I'm really quite sorry to all of you that hadn't noticed that all the cars are the same colors these days. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

And here I am with my douchebag orange car right next to my super candy apple green wrapped wagon...

Yeah, I can't stand cars in colors that aren't colors.

It's been this way for decades, this is not a new phenomena and it is not a conspiracy - these things are driven by consumers.

I know it's been a thing for decades, but even in the '80s I could still walk on a lot and find yellow, green, orange and purple cars. These days it seems those are all special order.

They're all going with weird grey clay colours. Often in mat. It's really weird and I don't like it.

I should be able to tell someone what colour my car is, I don't want to have to go, oh well it's a sort of dull concrete but slightly bluer.

That was the biggest thing I liked about my SAABs. No matter what color they were, no other car in the lot looked like that.
